Bromley Cross railway station, situated in Bromley Cross, a suburb to the north of Bolton, is served by the Northern Rail 'Ribble Valley' line 4 km (2¾ miles) north of Bolton.
The station is just south of the point where the double line merges into one. The single line continues through Entwistle station towards Blackburn with a passing loop at Darwen station. The signal box here acts as a 'fringe' to the power boxes at Preston (which controls the line to Blackburn) and Manchester Piccadilly - their train description systems are incompatible with each other and so the box here has been retained to act as a link between them.[1]
Bromley Cross railway station is situated on Chapeltown Road. Parking is adjacent to the station, with overflow parking opposite and neighbouring Turton Media Arts College.
